A Lot Better Than I Thought It Was Going To Be

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2014)

I remember entering the movie theater not expecting much and leaving the movie theater completely impressed. I wasn't expecting this movie to be bad, but I didn't expect it to be that great either.
As we all know, the idea of humans piloting robots to fight monsters is nothing new. It's been used in several other movies, TV shows, and video games. However, this film took it to the next level with its engaging storyline, gripping action, and stellar special effects.
While there are pros to this movie, there's bound to be some cons too. I didn't think the acting was that great, quite a few of the characters weren't very likable, and the writing was a bit hammy at times.
But the pros outdo the cons because I still enjoyed this film. If you love science fiction and/or monster movies, then give this flick a watch.
